MST file to automate MSI file editing
Default Setup project in visual studio does not give all the options we need. As a result, many people employ third party setup projects. Another option is using ORCA tool from Microsoft to edit the MSI file for your requirement. In the later approach, you first need to build the MSI file (Windows Installer package) using visual studio, then open the MSI file in ORCA and make the necessary changes. Basically MSI file contains a database (a number of tables) that you can edit using ORCA; Editing operations include adding new rows and editing existing rows to different tables.

Exploring Clip Property of UIelement to Make Animation in WPF
Every UIelement has a Property named clip, which is Geometry type. You can set any geometry used to define the outline of the contents of an element. Only the area that is within the region of the geometry will be visible. Portion of UIelement outside the geometry will be visually clipped in the rendered layout. Using Clip property of UIelement in WPF, you can do lots of animation. I think it is a powerful way of doing animation. Possibilities are endless. You can do most geometrical type of animation in 2D using this technique. I have just published an article about this technique.

A simple snapshot taker application in WPF
The simple application is implemented using media player in WPF. You can also use this code to make preview of video in WPF. Here MediaPlayer is used to play video instead of MediaElement.

The simple snapshot taker application looks like the following:
